Greek geometry II

Аннотация

The first twenty years of the fifth century before the Christian era was a period of deep gloom and despondency throughout the Hellenic world. The lonians had revolted and were conquered, for the third time; this time, however, the conquest was complete and final: they were overcome by sea as well as by land. Miletus, till then the chief city of Hellas, and rival of Tyre and Carthage, was taken and destroyed; the Phoenician fleet ruled the sea, and the islands of the Htgean became subject to Persia.
